We stopped at The Shop on N. Milpas for brunch around 10am. There was a small line, but we didn't wait long. The setup is interesting! You order and pay at the counter first, then they seat you and bring everything out. I actually kind of liked being able to sit down and relax without immediately being handed another menu It's a really cute spot with nice outdoor seating, friendly staff, and dogs are welcome. My sister's dog enjoyed brunch from the comfort of his stroller My husband got his usual cold brew and I got a spring water. We shared the avocado toast with egg and bacon added, plus a side of potatoes. The avocado smash was good and the egg was cooked perfectly, but the bread was a little dense for me. Nuzz really enjoyed the bacon. The POTATOES though!! So good. Thinly sliced, thicker than a potato chip, perfectly salted and super crispy. The side portion was generous too. Our total was about $53 for the avocado toast with add-ons, potatoes, cold brew, water and tip. I'm glad we shared because that felt pretty steep for one breakfast! And for my IBS friends Two separate, private all-gender bathrooms with actual doors. No stalls. We love to see it. Overall, cute place, good food and a different brunch experience. Nothing was bad at all, but for the price, I probably wouldn't rush back. read more

The Shop Brunch - Avocado Toast Potatoes - New American Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

The Shop Brunch is this interesting little restaurant that is located just off of an auto shop. Thus, their name, The Shop Brunch. The way this restaurant works is that you go up to the front window, you place your order, you go and sit down, and the order is brought out to you. Pretty simple. It's important to note, however, that this is a popular café. So, particularly on peak hours, you're probably going to have to wait to put in your order. That's just an FYI. In terms of seating, they have a large outdoor patio space. There's a lot of tables there, so you should have no problem getting a seat, weather permitting. This area has tarps over it, so you do have some protection from the sun. But, depending on the weather, you may or may not like sitting there. Personally, I always like to sit outside at this restaurant. They do have some interior seating. It's fairly limited, but they do have a few tables. So, if you're lucky enough, and you want to sit inside, you may be able to grab one of these tables to sit at for your meal. In terms of their food, it's basically Americana, with a little bit of a southwestern twist. Overall, it's pretty good. They also have all of the expected drinks: your coffees, your lattes, your soft drinks, and all of that kind of stuff. Overall, this is an interesting take on a café in the Santa Barbara area. If you're into a casual environment, this is a fun place to eat. read more

Thought I'd try a new restaurant in Santa Barbara this weekend. It's the strangest thing. It's right on the corner. You can get new tires next door, but while you're waiting, you can catch breakfast or lunch. Outdoors, there's a lot of seating. Wooden tables and wicker chairs. Awnings and large umbrella coverings. You pay first, and then they seat you. There's some seating indoors, but it's limited, compared to outdoors. I ordered a latte ($5.50) and avocado toast ($16). They add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. There is a window for to-go orders, but if you're dining in, you place your order with the gal at the podium. I have to say, although there were two staff working on drinks, my latte took a while. Luckily, it came before the food. There was a staff member waiting at the counter and delivering just drinks. Once I got my latte, it tasted good. Strong. I felt the caffeine. The avocado toast was good, too. It was served in a shallow metal dish. Thick, high quality, Artisan bread. I enjoyed the toasted pumpkin seeds. I would definitely order it again, but open to ordering something else on the menu next time. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. There was another gentleman standing in the back, immediately clearing tables. It's better if you come earlier on the weekends. There was a line of people when I was leaving. There's plenty of free street parking. I parked across the street. read more

The Shop is one of my absolute favorite places to grab brunch in SB. Without a doubt, you will enjoy every bite of the dish you order as every ingredient is high quality. The service is always quick and the ambiance has a perfect combo of outside scenery and inside comfort. Highly recommend trying this place out! read more

So sad to leave Santa Barbara but before I do I wanted to check out @shopbrunch . Got some chilaquiles with crunchy chips and an egg, cheese bacon sandwich with some aioli sauce I think which was superb and a ton of avocado and a side of waffles. I like the atmosphere especially on a nice day like today and the hostess were super nice and friendly. Hopefully you can check them out. #foodie #santabarbara #review #bacon #chilaquiles read more

Well, I do appreciate that they had much lemonade which I love, this one was very mediocre. Also, grossly overpriced, service could've been better as well. They had a great sounding menu, but they were so unfriendly that we just got drinks to go. The quality did not reflect the price. read more

Really cute spot located right next to a car shop. Hence the name too! You order first and you can pick your seating inside or outside of the place. Since it was a beautiful day we chose to sit outside. We got the Chilaquies with carnitas and WOW it was soo good and nice spice to it. Really good with or without meat. Rollex Bacon with scramble egg, avocado, smoked tomato and rolled into a African flatbread, served with house potatoes. I would say this reminds of me an onion pancake if you ever had one of those. It was REALLY good. I truly enjoyed this. Last we got the waffles and that orange bits of butter that they served it with was amazing!! Really brings out the flavor and add the syrup. Sooo good. Had myself a vanilla latte (almond milk) and that hit the spot for my caffeine kick. Service was great and I really enjoy this place and would love to come back if we visit Santa Barbara or passing by the city. read more

Stopped by The Shop Kitchen during the Validation Ale take over before a concert at Santa Barbara Bowl this past week. Had a couple hazys and a mule while trying the Philly cheesesteak and smash burger. Let's just say the drinks beat out the food, but still a cool chill spot to post up before heading into the show. Staff was super friendly and kept the good vibes going before the concert. read more

The Shop Brunch - Fried Chicken Burrito and Tugboat - New American Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Overpriced for an average brunch spot. Street parking is hard but we finally found something. They have some gluten free options but can't make some things gluten free (such as french toast, even though they did in the past). We spent $5 on a can of Diet Coke with a cup of ice and we were told there are no refills. That is crazy. The salmon toast was okay, very salty and the toast is super thin. It would be better if there was more toast to balance the saltiness. I also got the omelette and thought it was good, but not super special. The potatoes were done well, very crispy! Strawberry matcha is light and pretty sweet. You get a small glass for $9!! A bit disappointing for the price but the outdoor patio is nice for a sunny day. read more

The Shop Brunch - New American Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

The Shop Kitchen is a breakfast/lunch spot with indoor and outdoor seating on the corner of Milpas and De La Guerra St. For their winter hours, they open a little later than I'd like, 9am; get there early if you want to avoid the rush. I don't recall any dedicated parking, but there is public parking on Milpas or nearby side streets. Order outside at the register, pick a seat inside or out, and the drinks and food are brought to you. Outside seating is spacious and feels secluded despite being right on Milpas St, with upbeat, fun music and a hip vibe. Inside has less seating and is a nicely done warm/industrial with concrete and wood furnishings. We recently went for Sunday breakfast at opening. Breakfast options are very creative and include fried chicken eggs benedict, toasts with avocado and eggs or salmon lox, waffles, omelets and burritos. For lunch you can get a smash burger, salads, fried chicken items and steak sandwich among other things - limited but thoughtfully curated offerings. They also serve champagne drinks, wine, cider and beers. Food came out reasonably quick on warm metal plates and it looked beautiful. My wife's avocado toast was enormous and very flavorful, with tons of avo, sprouts, tomatoes and scrambled eggs atop thick but soft toasted bread. I ordered "the tug" which is the fried chicken benedict on a homemade biscuit with hollandaise and fried potatoes. Good lord! Chicken was so juicy and crunchy with perfectly cooked, drippy poached eggs and tangy hollandaise. The underlying biscuit was soft and flakey and the potatoes very thin sliced and full of flavor, with just the right amount of salt and seasoning on everything. Drip coffee was also delicious. The food is not cheap at around $16-$24/dish and the coffee comes in paper cups even if you dine in, but the quality, size and gourmet flavors of The Shop's dishes are as good, maybe better than I've had anyplace. Probably my favorite breakfast spot in SB! read more

The Shop Brunch - Loaded avocado toast with added eggs being pulled by "the tug" in front. Superb! - New American Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Unclear where parking is for this place and there's not a lot of street parking on Milpas but the staff were super friendly and courteous, letting me and other patrons know that a large party arrived without calling ahead and offering chips while we waited for our orders. I got the Tugboat to-go and was really surprised to see that my poached eggs didn't break at all while I was driving. The Hollandaise was DELICIOUS, fried chicken perfectly crispy and not overbattered, and the biscuit was awesome. read more

The Shop Brunch - Tugboat - New American Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My husband and I dined here with a Groupon gift certificate that our kids gifted us. We went on a Thursday morning around 10 AM. You place your order at the window and then find a seat in the garden patio which is lovely. There were only a few others dining while we were there. My husband ordered eggs Benedict with side of fresh fruit and a drip coffee and I ordered an egg wrap with an iced lavender latte. Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were as expected. The food come in about 15 minutes and everything was fresh and looked like it was made on site. I highly recommend purchasing the Groupon offer as it makes your dining experience such a great value. I did go inside to use the restroom and it wasn't overly clean but acceptable. The interior decor leaves a bit to be desired so if you do visit, definitely sit out on the patio. read more

The food here was really good, and I especially loved the outdoor patio; it's such a nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal. My favorite was the avocado toast; it was full of flavor and super satisfying. I did add an egg and bacon, which made it a little pricey. It was pretty quiet when we went, so service was quick and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I went last year, so the menu might be a little different now. read more

Super cute breakfast and lunch spot which is located close to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, "Los Agaves". My friends and I sat outside as the weather was beautiful over the weekend. Staff was friendly and when we got there, it was already busy. You can tell it's popular as the line in the entry was pretty long. The food was so fresh! I had a sweet hibiscus tea with an egg, bacon & avocado wrap. Everything was tasty and they also have their own hot sauce which was a nice touch. read more

Stopped by here on my way north from Los Angeles to grab some brunch. The restaurant is conveniently just a few blocks off the freeway, making it a good stop for commuters/travelers. Parking seems to be just nearby street and it wasn't too plentiful but wasn't too difficult either. The shop appears to be related to the repair shop just next door. In any case, this is an order at the front and pay first, decide if you want to sit outside or inside and wait staff lite to bring you order and some other things, but there's self serve water station. They do have a bathroom too in case you need to go. The outdoor seating is definitely more plentiful but the inside has a good amount of seating and it may get a bit cozy if many parties also sit inside. read more

We looked for a new spot to try out in the area while on vacation and ground The Shop Brunch. This place is a local gem. The food is amazing and the vibe is very local and chill. The staff were friendly and helpful with our order. The chilaquiles were some of the best I have had. My wife loved her meal as well and the potatoes were heavenly. Thinly sliced and fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside and a soft bite in the middle. It's a must if you are visiting the greater Santa Barbara / Goleta area. read more

This is an interesting place. The customers here are mostly locals. You walked up to the counter to order, then you could decide to sit inside or out on the patio. Most people picked the patio sitting. We ordered a Cobb salad and a Carnita Burrito. The Cobb Salad has lots of Avacado slides and the chicken was freshly grilled. The Carnita Burrito was much better than I expected. It was delicious. Ingredients was fresh and seasoned well and cooked to perfection. It Came with chips and green salsa. The green salsa was tasty with a little kick to it. Texture was just right! Defitely a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. It's a local hangout. read more

My husband and I took a quick trip to Santa Barbara for our Anniversary. So, I asked locals what's a good place for breakfast burritos and suggested The Shop Brunch. Let me begin with the hospitality. Very welcoming vibes. It is a walk up order and the host will sit you down at a table. We asked what's a good burrito and suggested the Waygu breakfast burrito. This burrito has to be the best I ever had. It was $24.00 however, it's pretty big too. Not cheap on the meat either. The waygu was so tender , along with egg, avocado, and thin home potatoes. The salsa was not too hot the way I lie it to complement the burrito without taking over the burrito. The owner Douglas was very friendly and he saw me take a pick and we told him we're from L.A. and I said this burrito is amazing. I have had a lot of burritos here in L.A. and am searching for what I had in Santa Barbra. We said we would go up to spend the day in Santa Barbara to eat at The Shop Brunch again. Douglas if you see this thank you for spending the time to talk to us. I also would like to track the burrito guy on IG to contest he needs to try this burrito over Wake in Late. Trust me this over theirs is by far my favorite. You need a shop in LA. Just sayin! If you're in Santa Barbara, please try this cute brunch spot. They also have many other items on their menus is eating worthy. Made our day and we will be back soon. read more

Stopped by this brunch shop on our roadtrip down to LA. The restaurant is order at the counter and then you'll seat yourself or the waiter will help seat you. The food feels very fresh and healthy, we loved all the options they had for some of us that are vegetarian or pescatarian. I personally ordered the salmon toast for ~$20, i thought it was a little on the pricey end, there is also no side for the toasts. However i did feel pretty full and satisfied after eating the whole toast. There is only outdoor seating, I personally don't mind that as i love being under the sun. The restaurant also has their own special hot sauce, which i personally found to be very mild. I would appreciate it if they had some generic hotsauce like tapatio or tobasco. Other than that, i did really enjoy my food and the ambience here, I would come back! read more

We walked all the way to this spot. Cute outdoor seating but you can opt to dine in as well. I sometimes don't like place that makes you order first then take you to the table. I had to make up my mind quick because there was a line forming behind us. I decided to get an avocado toast and my boyfriend ordered the wagyu burrito. The avocado toast tasted good. It had marinated tomatoes, pepitas, ancho chile salt, micro greens and I added chopped bacon to it. My boyfriend enjoyed his burrito. It looked really good and he said it tasted good as well. I will have to try what he ordered next time. Overall, good brunch spot in the area. read more

Came by on a Wednesday around 9:30 am after a hike at Rattlesnake Canyon. I was hungry. Place was mostly empty at the time. There is inside and outside seating. Ordering is done through a window counter. I was not expecting this based on their pricing. I ordered their Steak Sando ($24). A number sign was given as food would be delivered to where you are seated. Food came out timely and at the right temperature in simple plate like bowls. Sandwich came with fries. Steak was noted as wagyu flank steak. Sandwich and fries was good but I was expecting more flavor from the wagyu. Ambiance outside is off, based on the menu items and price. Interesting with automotive tire signs. Staff was efficient. read more

We stopped here at about 11:30am on 05/11/2025. This was our first time here. The line was a tiny bit long at the time, since we had to get on our way down the 101; however, we ordered to go. It was made quickly and we were on our way. Oh man, everything was really really good. I had the Tijuana wrap, which is essentially the Shop's take on the chicken ceasar wrap. It was grilled chicken, ceasar salad, parmesean and avocado wrapped in a flatbread. It was definitely better than your typical wrap of this nature. My Husband had the shop burrito, which he shared was equally as good. Overall, a great place and I would definitely return again in the future. read more
